| | | Photo-objects, discrete installations, beamers, lightboxes and wallpapers – Foam Talent exceeds expectations of a classic photography exhibition. From the conceptual approach to the both mythical and violent favelas of Rio de Janeiro by Stefanie Moshammer, the colourful photographic constructions of Nico Krijno, to the chemical experiments on film by Daisuke Yokota in which the camera becomes irrelevant, the exhibition displays great diversity in artistic approaches. With each portfolio the selected artists prove to have very distinct and unique visions within a variety of genres. In a presentation of more than 100 photographs Foam Talent reflects the diversity of creative approach that marks recent developments in the medium. The synergy between Amsterdam’s leading photography museum and London’s laboratory and presentation space for contemporary art and artists, lies in their focus on identifying and developing new talent. Foam and Beaconsfield both direct their energies into providing a platform for the current generation of contemporary young artists, facilitating their exposure to a growing international audience. Foam Magazine
Foam Magazine #45 (Talent) serves as a base for the exhibition Foam Talent, featuring portfolios and biographies on the 24 photographers, plus extensive texts by several leading international experts. The annual Foam Magazine Talent Issue and the related Talent Programme are supported by the Niemeijer Fund. Foam Talent is made possible with support from Downtown International, Kleurgamma Fine-Art Photolab and Star Frame, with additional support from The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in London, United Kingdom. Foam Magazine is an international photography magazine, published by Foam and Vandejong Creative Agency, distributed by Frame Publishers and sponsored by Igepa Netherlands BV. | | |

| | Zawiyah, May 2016 © Narciso Contreras for the Fondation Carmignac
Image selected in TIME’s Top 100 Photos of the Year 2016 | | |
7th Laureate of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award | | | | 16 May – 16 June 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fondation Carmignac is pleased to announce the exhibition of the 7th Laureate of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award, the Mexican photographer Narciso Contreras. Narciso Contreras has put together a unique testimony for the Carmignac Photojournalism Award, revealing that Libya is not simply a transit zone for migrants en route to Europe, but a human trafficking stronghold where refugees and asylum seekers are bought and sold on a daily basis. In 5 months of reportage, from February to June 2016, Narciso Contreras was able to uncover and demonstrate that detention centres, where migrants are submitted to inhumane living conditions, are in fact the strongholds of this lucrative commerce. With this report, Narciso Contreras provides us with a glimpse of the complex and horrifying context anonymous migrants face through the complex tribal society of post-Gaddafi Libya. | | |

| | | Siân Davey, Prom, © Siân Davey | | | | | | | | | | – 20 May 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Hoppen Gallery is delighted to present two photographic series, made nearly fifty years apart, that explore the vulnerability, beauty and ambivalence of adolescence. Martha is an on-going collaboration between British photographer Siân Davey and her step-daughter Martha which explores their evolving relationship as well as the lives of Martha and her close friends as they journey through their later teenage years in rural Devon. The level of trust between Davey and all her subjects is reflected in the intimacy and honesty of the photographs, which range from idyllic pastoral scenes reminiscent of Cezanne’s Bathers to an interior shot of a hungry moment eating pizza in a late night kebab shop. | | |

Gruyaert is a Magnum photographer who has travelled extensively over the last 30 years photographing Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and America, often by road from the comfort of his Volkswagen Kombi. He was one of the first European photographers to take advantage of the creative potential of colour photography, following in the footsteps of great American colourists such as William Eggleston and Stephen Shore. | | |

| | | Mirror 13, 2017 © Murray Fredericks | | | | | | | | – 2 June 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Vanity series is a continuation of Fredericks’ renowned Salt series, previously exhibited at Hamiltons in "Salt, 2007", "Salt II, 2009" and "Recent Work, 2014 – 2015". In this next cycle of the project, Fredericks introduces a mirror into the previously undisturbed landscape. Australian photographer Murray Fredericks’ long relationship with Lake Eyre, where his most recent series "Vanity" has been produced, commenced in 2003, and to date consists of twenty journeys to the centre of the lake where he photographs for weeks at a time in the vast and infinite landscape. Fredericks is not interested in documenting the literal forms of the landscape. He views the landscape as medium in itself which, when represented in a photograph, has the potential to convey the emotional quality of his experience and relationship to the lake. Fredericks’ relationship to this project stems from his initial visit to a salt lake in 2001 where late one night he wandered away from his campsite and stopped for some time. Standing alone in the darkness he became aware that the boundary between his physical body and the environment he stood within seemed to soften and become less defined. Fredericks experienced an unfamiliar, powerful sensation of calm and eventually a release from the ever-present anxieties that seem to be inherent to the human condition. In that moment, Fredericks felt a connection to something that seemed to exist beyond his conscious mind. The memory of that experience stayed with Fredericks and defined his pursuit of landscape imagery. Fredericks employs a serial approach in the Salt project. All photographs are composed with an unbroken horizon placed in the lower third … | | |
